A while ago I posted about my FFG Armada Fleet... Today our glorious emperor sought to gift me this (puny rebel ship for scale, not mine)

Uh-huh and what about allowing that fleet of rebel scum to amass in the background!
You give them an inch and the next thing you know you'll have an A-wing come crashing through the bridge of your Executor!
Those are my friend's, I frequently crush the rebel scum, you know... for practice
Good, good, let the hate... er competitive spirit flow through you.
As long as you are no rebel sympathizer
I have the feeling that these are not to scale by the slightest. The executor should be about 5 times as long if i remember correctly. So even more glory tonthe empire
I think it's just under 12 times as long (1.6km Vs 19km off the top of my head)
Yeah. I went with 20km and 2km
I mean there's only so much room.
The Super Star Destroyer has 4 profiles and 4 titles you can add to it, so it's not just the Executor
Also the play area is intended as a 3-4' x 4'-6' table area. And the ship itself is 2' long. It's a beast even not to scale
Nice triangles.
What is the ship between the ISD and the SSD?
I believe it is called a Raider Class Corvette.
Yes
Raider. They do it as an Xwing miniature too which is huge.
Is also the ship used in the battlefront 2 solo campaign, called th Corvus
Where are you able to buy these fine pieces of imperial engineering ?
I got them (except the ssd) from my Friendly Local Game Store or Amazon
Ssd was my gift for Christmas, which was purchased from a game store
What’s the Mon Cal on the right? MC80 Home One?
Yes
How do you beat a SSD in this game? Asking for a friend that doesnt know this game but is intrested.
So I'm gonna over explain here a little... skip to the end for the TLDR if you want
so the SSD is at a minimum 250 points, without upgrades, and the base game point level is 300. So SSD by itself basically unupgraded with no fighter Squads for a low point game.
Friend and I have been playing 600 points, or for me the plan is SSD with a Victory ISD and 2 Raiders support, with fighters and upgrades
The 250 point versions of the SSD have (e) 22 Health, and the 300+ point versions have 33 Health, but more upgrades available.
Every ship has shields, the SSD has 6shield points in front, and 5s on the sides, and 3 in the rear, once shields are gone you deal hull damage and start hitting health.
The game proper ends after 6 rounds (each player alternates activating a ship, until all have been activated, and then squads the same) and after every thing is done that's 1 round, Rarely are all ships destroyed (Win immediately if you destroy all a player's ships), but if it's alive at the end of the game, it doesn't count to score victory.
However, for the SSD because it's bigger than the biggest ships, at the end of the game, if it's got half or less health, you get half the points (for base + upgrades). And it's worth a LOT of points with upgrades, most of your fleet just by itself.
It's also really slow. To turn it, you have to dedicate a move order to turn it, and you can only do 1 order per activation, so you forgo activating a squad early, or extra firepower, or repairs. Just so it can turn on it's movement for the round. You can do this order for other ships too, and they get extra movement, or turning, but the SSD to TURN AT ALL needs that Move Order.
So, how do you beat it?
*Out maneuver it (it's real weak in the back, and will not be able to turn around and put the big guns on you)
*Out last it (use the games rules to just survive and win by doing objectives)
*Out Number it and Focus Fire it Hard (you only have to get it to half health to get 2 medium, or 4 small ships worth of points out of it) The SSD player has put a significant army value into ONE ship where the Rebel player will have several, significantly more maneuverable ships.

Thanks for this bro! :)
Where did you ger them? I would love to have one.
Local game/comic shop
But also available on Amazon
Thank you.
OP can you tell me where yoy got these?
I recommend you see if your local game/hobby store has them. Support your local business.
If all else fails, Amazon.
They are models for Fantasy Flight Games's Star Wars Armada.
All the fantasy flight starwars stuff is great fun.
My usual opponent and good friend (who plays the rebel fleet) got the core book for force and destiny, and we'll be using his Outrider (yt2400) from the xwing miniatures game as the model for our groups' space ship
Jesus I didn’t even see the Raider Corvette
Which is an equivalent size as the star destroyer in the xwing miniatures game
Edit: Base Size that is, I don't think even the Huge Ships in Xwing come close to the SSD
And this shows the benevolence of our great Empire, that our commanders will not fire on those scummy rebel ships in order that the fleets may be aligned for pictures.
For clarity the Super Star Destroyer is what I got. The Victory and Imperial Star destroyers and the raider I already owned
See my previous post for rules discussion and such
Is that that an ISD I, II, or III (this did actually exist)
The model is an ISD II but you can configure it with a special card to be an ISD I
I run it as an ISD2, but u/just_breadd is correct, it can be run as an ISD1.
The ISD3 is a separate model sold as Thrawn's Chimaera
